Finding Your Perfect PartnerWritten by David Wood
Continued from page 1
The following is a brief extract from full "Finding Mr. Right" program (available at my web site). Make a couple of these true today, then take your time with rest... •I have written down Top None to Five requirements of partner I am seeking (e.g. kindness, ambition). •I have written down Top None to Five requirements of relationship I am seeking (e.g. honesty, laughter, support, eating ice-cream together). (And are you available for casual dating, casual sex, a "serious" relationship, marriage and kids?) •I have - in conjunction with friends - come up with a list of at least five places I might meet such a person (e.g. sporting clubs, internet, parties, bars, interest groups) •I have told at least ten friends kind of partner and relationship I am seeking, and that I would love to be introduced to potential partners, and invited to a lot of parties! •I have written down at least three possible dates to invite someone on, each being something I really enjoy (e.g. walk on beach, poetry reading, rock climbing) •I ask out at least two people per week (and have found a way that works for me and is not too scary). •I have interviewed friends concerning how "available" I appear. (Some people think they appear available, but come across as aggressive or snobby.)

Surrender 3 This is my favourite - names changed to protect guilty!One of my good friends - George - was complaining to me about his roommate. 'I've tried everything to get her to clean. I've created lists of jobs, we've created cleaning schedules, and I've tried cleaning more as an example. Nothing is working, and it's driving me nuts!'. Clearly he was trying to control situation - sound familiar? But more he tried to get her to clean, more excuses she came up with - and this guy is a powerful coach! When I asked him why he didn't just move out, he replied: 'But I love her to death. And other than this, I love living with her'. So together we created a completely ~opposite~ approach. The art of fun surrender. And here's what he went back to his roommate with: 'Jill, I love living with you. And I love you. I've been so hung up on this cleaning issue I've lost sight of that. I want you to know that if you never clean another thing I this house I'll be fine with that - in fact I'll handle it. I'm just glad you're my roommate'. Again - key is he meant it. He realised that doing all cleaning wasn't that big a deal for him, and he'd much rather have her in his life than 'get his way' over cleaning. All he had to do was give up his position - to give up being 'right' about it. And result? He s still got an awesome friend in his life, not to mention peace! OK - enough examples. Let's take a look at your neck of woods: Exercise: Apply This to YOUR Life' If you would like to completely eliminate a problem from your life - something that's been draining you, then try these three simple steps: 1) Notice where you are 'pushing' Are you arguing your point? Have you tried everything and person still won't change? Do they not seem to be listening, or just ignore you? Are you desperately trying to get to sleep (fighting yourself)? Have you complained about it more than twice in one week? More than ten times this year? 2) Ask yourself: 'What if they did that forever, and I was OK with it? If I embraced it?' 3) Choose an action ~you~ can do that would handle it, instead of them having to handle it. Before you may have argued, got upset or stressed out. But now - what could you do that would just handle/accept issue? To take responsibility for it? Not because you have to, but because it's more fun and will create more peace in your life? This week, make your life and someone else's life easier. Who's lucky person? And I'd love to hear what you come up with! Just zip me an email...I can keep it confidential, or with your permission even share it in next month's newsletter.
